Louisa Wendorff

Since day one, Los Angeles native Louisa Wendorff knew she would sing. She performed at any chance she got, and quickly began playing piano, guitar and the ukulele. Professional vocal coaching started at age 9, and she began training in classical Italian two years later. Her training and performing continued throughout high school

Louisa’s passion took her from the warm Southern California coast to Nashville, Tennessee, where she attended Belmont University for Songwriting and Music Business. While in school, she began writing and recording for her first EP. She released the EP, entitled Arrow, in June of 2014. Her EP soared to the No. 2 spot on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart, gaining her the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s HeatSeekers Chart.

Louisa’s talent was soon recognized when, in late December 2014, Taylor Swift discovered her latest mash-up video of Swift’s songs, Blank Space andStyle. One word on Twitter from Swift herself, “OBSESSED,” launched Louisa into the spotlight. In no time, Louisa’s YouTube mash-up went viral, with over 17 million views in the first month alone. The mainstream media discovered her, and soon countless news sites were writing articles about her, including TIME, People Magazine, The Huffington Post, Billboard, USA Today, and Teen Vogue. With an international presence, the total views for Louisa’s YouTube channel have now surpassed 23 million.

In February 2015, Louisa performed live at E!’s Live Countdown to the Grammy’s Red Carpet, as she simultaneously released her Blank Space/Style mash-up as a single on iTunes. The single rapidly climbed to the #18 spot for all genres on iTunes. Louisa calls Nashville home, and is currently working on new music. In April, Louisa will be performing at the Rites of Spring Festival alongside Young the Giant, Portugal the Man, T-Pain, RAC, and The Lone Bellow.
